The tenth studio album by the British metalcore band is an arena-ready opus entitled ‘Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit’. It is the follow up to their 2021 breakout album ‘For Those That Wish to Exist’, which hit #1 on the UK sales chart. Finding yourself with a UK Number One album and selling out arenas is enough for some to repeat a winning formula. Architects however, are forever moving forward. ‘It was definitely validating and felt really cool for like a day,’ recalls drummer, producer and songwriter Dan Searle of hitting the top spot with ‘For Those That Wish to Exist’. ‘For a lot of the bucket list things you reach in any career, there’s a momentary gratification then you’re like, ‘What next?’ You just move on. By the time the album came out, my head was already in the mindset of ‘broken spirit’. That was where I was at.’
